Fighting Irish Football spans the history of college football’s most storied program, featuring many never-before-seen photos from the vaults of the University of Notre Dame Archives.
Expertly selected by Charles Lamb and Elizabeth Hogan, these breathtaking images capture the history of Notre Dame football—and of sports photography—from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century through today, with sections devoted to the coaches, players, fans, games, and venues.
Compelling and unforgettable, Fighting Irish Football builds a special connection between today’s fans and the generations of fans who came before, united by their love of Notre Dame.
Charles Lamb is currently semi-retired, working as media assistant for Fighting Irish Media. From 1984 to 2018, he was assistant director and senior archivist for photographic and audio/visual collections at the University of Notre Dame Archives.
